About Us

About us - The founders of Dotcloud

Founded on Vision. Driven by Innovation.

Dotcloud was founded in the late 1990s by lifelong friends and tech entrepreneurs Louis du Plessis and Stephan Myburgh. With deep roots in the IT industry and successful ventures of their own, they joined forces to create a future-focused company built on trust, expertise, and innovation.

After years in the game, Dotcloud remains a trusted technology partner, known for its service-driven mindset, forward-thinking solutions, and a loyal, growing client base.

We have been using the products and services offered by Dotcloud for the past 20 years. This has proven to be outstanding. Their support, even after hours, is always spot on and problems are resolved quickly. We definitely recommend them.

Office and Financial Manager Fuchs Roux Attorneys

During the past nine years, we have built a strong and trusting business relationship with Dotcloud based on their proven solutions, implementation skills and reliability when it comes to Cloud and Internet services, Data Centre storage and Virtualization solutions. It is always a pleasure dealing with honourable professionals who will go the extra mile to resolve any issue we may encounter and who have the ability to aid our future organisational growth.

Boogertman & Partners

Dotcloud’s support is outstanding. They are always a click of a button away at the Support Desk or, if needed, on the phone. The allocated support technicians are well trained and knowledgeable, not only in the Dotcloud environment but in our other systems as required by our clients as well. The Dotcloud system in general is trustworthy and user-friendly. The retrieving of backed up information is secure and in place. No cold sweats if you have lost info – Dotcloud will recover it. Louis and Stephan, Dotcloud’s directors, are APPROACHABLE at any time. Dotcloud truly looked after our own interests first during national lockdown, assisting with our requests to save on IT costs by adjusting our services temporarily during this time.

Over 1000 Days of Continuous Uptime
— And Counting

Downtime isn’t an option for serious businesses — and at Dotcloud, we ensure continuity with the urgency it demands. With multiple failover systems in place, we’ve achieved an uninterrupted uptime streak of over 1000 days — clear proof that we deliver on our promises.

Traditional recovery methods can take days, even weeks. That’s why we go beyond basic backups, creating a complete daily replica of your server. If a failure occurs, we can activate a live replica within minutes — keeping your business running smoothly while saving you time and money.
